This panel is from a large window which illustrates the story of Saint Vincent through a series of roundels which told a story. Narrative panels like these were arranged in large gothic windows surrounded by patterns and foliage. Saint Vincent suffered grievously for his faith and is shown here being roasted on a gridiron. A figure beneath fans the flames with bellows, while above torturers pierce his body and apply salt to his wounds. The panel was made between about 1225–1250 by a French artist.
